How To Test

confirm settings changes can be made and saved, and are found after a logout/login cycle.

confirm day to day desktop functions are working.

confirm all settings dialogs come up and work.

(More specifics can be added when final changelogs are available)

Updates:

confirm yum groupupdate 'XFCE' works and all packages are properly updated/obsoleted.

confirm the updated desktop works fine.

Contingency Plan

Revert to older Xfce 4.6 version. This may require a Epoch and rebuilding packages and plugins.
Or if the dist-f13-xfce tag has not yet been merged back into rawhide, only reverts in cvs will be required.

Release Notes

Xfce has been updated to version 4.8. This version includes many enhancements and bug fixes. See the tour at http://www.xfce.org/about/tour for more information.
